The Beach Boys Reaches Greater Heights

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Beach Boys was composed of siblings Dennis, Brian, and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike, and close pal Al Jardine. Formed in 1961, it didn’t take long enough for the iconic group to create a name in the music industry. They became known for making fun, light songs, like 1963’s Surfin’ U.S.A.

By 1966, the group shocked its fans when it released the album Pet Sounds, a far cry from its previous works. This had a more serious tune, seemingly a transition for the band, although it wasn’t as welcomed as its earlier albums.
